Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received this bicycle as a present (picked it out online myself). It's one of the cheapest seemingly full size folding bicycle I can find. There's no review at the time I'd bought it and I kinda took a chance so now that I'd spent a little time with it I thought I'd share my experience..
It seemed sturdy and folds & unfolds with confidence (few days into ownership). But I did have to do a LOT of adjustments all over in order to put it together properly ready for riding duty (there was no instructions but I figured everything out I'm sure you can too). Btw you need a wrench of sorts to remove the front wheel.
In order to fit into the trunk of my car (I have a 2007 Civic Hybrid so the battery cut into trunk space and so I have a smaller trunk than a normal Civic), I'd have to remove the handle bar. That's in addition to removing the front wheel and also folding the bicycle itself, of course. But I think it should fit in most (normal) sedans without the handle bar removed. Like I said the IMA battery cut into my trunk space & my seats don't fold down (which incidentally is a big reason for me wanting this folding bicycle).
The handle bar, not sure why, doesn't really fit securely even as I think I'd really tightened it. So tho it's fine for my purpose (casual riding during lunch hour) I'd never take it to a real technical trail. Also even as the seat is adjusted to its highest setting I still can't fully extend my legs whilst riding it (I'm about 6' tall). Guess that's more or less a function of the folding bike having compact dimension kinda thing.
Overall I'm happy with it. Good value for what it costs. Happy that I have a 2nd bike that I can easily (sort of) fit into the trunk of my Hybrid. I don't think I'd have it as my only bicycle tho. I still like riding my "real" bicycle more, when I'm able to properly carry it.
Hopefully this will help you decide..
